Saudi Arabia is predominantly a Muslim country. The official Religion of Saudi Arabia is Islam and the Quran is the holy book of the people. It is also considered to be the constitution of the country. Most of the Saudi Arabians belong to the Sunni sect of Muslims. There are 15 percent Shia Muslims in Saudi Arabia. The Religion in Saudi Arabia largely influences the Culture of Saudi Arabia in Asia.

The Religion in Saudi Arabia has a fair impact upon the food habits and dress of the Muslim inhabitants. Of the 6 to 7 million people who live in Saudi Arabia are mostly followers of Islam. There is also a non-Muslim population which comprises of foreigners who have settled there.
The History of Saudi Arabia reveals how Religion in Saudi Arabia has shaped the Customs and Traditions in Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia is a religious hub because of the sacred pilgrimages of Mecca and Medina. A Muslim devotee has to follow the Five Pillars of Islam. First he should believe that there 'is no god but a God, and Mohammed is the Messenger of God'. This is also the motto of the Saudi Arabians. Praying five times a day facing Mecca is the second tenet. Giving of alms, that is, zakkat, is another rule. During the ninth month of the Muslim calendar, that is, the Ramadan, the followers of Islam are to observe a fast. Finally each member of the Muslim community must undertake a pilgrimage to Mecca ( hajj) at least once in their lifetime.
